Moon Sand, Working at Nanny's and The Moon!!

For Alex's Birthday she got lots of presents and all of them are very neat but our most favorite to play with today was the Moon Sand!!
This is some really neat stuff and we played with it for a good long time!! The girls had so much fun and Alex built a castle!!

Then I went to Barbara's and here is Jerry taking down the trim!! He has been working so hard to get their house fixed!!

Britani even got in there with her a hammer and helped him!! She had so much fun just her and Jerry working together!!

Well at Tracy's they have been having some work done in the backyard!! It really is looking good! So I go by the window that goes to the backyard about 100 times and I have got to see alot of progress today!! I can not wait to see the finished project!! But then at this one point today I went by the window and I had to run and get my camera and take this picture...The sun was shining and the weather was nice but the MOON was about half way out also!! HA!! LOL!!! I just could not resist!!

I hope you all have a great day!!
~Till Tomorrow~

Happy 5th Birthday Alex!!!

I can't believe that this little girl is 5 years old today!!! She is so so so special to me and I love her more than she will ever know!!! Just look at that face...isn't she precious!!

She was so excited to be turning 5!!!


Jeff, Justin, Bradley Britani, Granny and myself gave her this Princess Bike!! She had asked me for it a while back and never let me forget it!! From the look on her face I think she likes it!! What do you think?? She rode it around and around the living room!I love this smile!!!

Look at all this food that was served...everything was delicious!!!

Uncle Jeff went and got this slide for the party and all the children had so much fun on it!!

After a while....Alex needed a drink of Ganky's punch and she loved that stuff I bet she had 4 or 5 cups!!

It was a wonderful birthday party!!!

Today is her actual birthday and I will have more pictures of her party at school tomorrow!!

I hope that you all have a great day!!

Water going down and Its Party time!!

To some people it may not look like the flood water is going down....but Praise the Lord it is!!!!

It has gone down enough that Jerry, Britani and myself went in the house today and took a look around!!!
That's right we went in...This is Britani standing in the kitchen of the house and water is up past her ankles still!!! But you can see where the water got up to on the door!!! Not everything is wet...so not a total lost!!! We went through and looked in every room and then out we went!!

They are thinking that we may be able to get down the driveway today!!!

And now IT'S PARTY TIME!!!
It is my Rhonda's Birthday!!!!

I hope she has a wonderful day and we will be cooking out tonight at their house...and we always have soo much fun!!! I will be taking pictures!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RHONDA!!!
I LOVE YOU!!!!

Everyone have a great day!!

~Till Tomorrow~

The Rain came down and the floods came up!!

The Rain came down and the floods came up

The Rain came down and floods came up

And up and up and up!!

But the Nanny's house stands strong!!

Yes that is right...at 7:45 this is wher the water was!!

She lives next to the yellow river!!

We had two sister and one brother and myself helping move stuff out!

My Brother Leon decided we would try to save this yard swing...everything else has floated away!!

So not we have moved stuff out and went back to get some clothes and the driveway was now covered!!!

At this point it is up to the windows and in all parts of the house!! Nanny and Jerry are safe and sound at theycallmeganky's pool house!!


It is unreal but everyone is safe and all other things are just material and can eventually be replaced!!

Now on another note...I had school again last night and well...

I did really good!!
I placed in a Fast Track Program and I am soooo excited!! If all works out I will have my GED by October 21st!!!!! Thank you so much for all your support and please keep it up I still have a few more weeks to go!!!

~Till Tomorrow~

Recycle and School!!!

How many of you recycle??

Well I don't really but Tracy does!!

She has 4 children and they drink lots of milk so she recylces Milk jugs!!

Well we just never have found but one place to take them and we just never had the time to run them over there until today and I found a place to take them on my way home!! So Tracy and I loaded up my car and off we went!!I mean my car was loaded down!!

But we got them taken and it really felt good to know that all those milk jugs do not end up in our landfill!!

So then after my day of work I headed home for just a bit. Regina one of my other nieces is going to school with me and we had our notebooks and pencils and off we went!!


It was not soooo bad!! We tested and ended up in the difficult book!! So maybe I am smarter than a 5th grader!! We will find out what our grade level is tonight!!

Keep us in your prayers...It is harder than I thought but not so hard right now!!

Have a great day!!

~Till Tomorrow~

Rain Rain Go away!!!

Rain Rain Go Away...

It is time to get out the rain boots

And I think we need to start building one of these!!

It has rained for days and everything is flooding!!! I sure hope it lets up soon or we will be having to do something!!

Well I start school today and last night I got out my paper and pencils and thought you know I didn't get any new school clothes!! My daddy ALWAYS made sure I got new clothes when school started and when Summer time come around!! :( No new clothes this time!!:( I will let you know how it goes!!

Have a great day!!!

~Till Tomorrow~

Fun Times!!

It was such a rainy day and really didn't want to do alot so we decided that we would head out for just a bit to Chick-fil-a!!! They had a playground area and I thought the girls would love it!!

This is the name of the playground!!

My girls had so much fun!!! They climbed and went on the slide for about 2 hours!!!


They just had so much fun...we did not have to be in any hurry and I just let them play!!!

Bradley bought him a hunting mask today and Alex wanted her picture made with him!!

We had such a sleepover...Britani, Skylar, Alex and Avery!!! These 4 girls had so much fun!! For hours they played in my garage. They set up the overhead and hung the dry erase board and set up the desk and played school!! They put together puzzles and just had so much fun!!

We had us a SUPER SATURDAY!!!

So now we are getting ready for church!!!

~Till Tomorrow~

Here and there and everywhere!

I will go ahead and apologize, No pictures!!

It was a crazy day and I just didn't get pictures loaded!

To start off with I was up and got my Twins off to school and then Alex and Avery up and dressed. Alex had school and Avery and I were meeting Ganky, Deeaaar Nanny, FooFoo and Kelly for breakfast! Still had a few things to do at Tracy's so off we went!

Got Alex to school and to Tracy's for a bit and then to breakfast!! Which was Delicious!! And then Alex has a Birthday next week so invitations had not got done yet and so off to get envelopes and stuff them and pass out the ones for school. Then to the office to give them the mail. From there to pick up Britani and then back to Tracy's to print more invitations. Had to go back to the office to stamp them and then to the post office!! Well it is now 2:45 and my soap that I have watched for 39 years was showing its very LAST episode yesterday. (Guiding Light) I just had to get home to watch it!! Then I decided I was leaving for dinner or going anywhere else UNTIL...I had to go get me-milk!! Got milk and Britani had gone on a date and waited on her to get home and then straight to bed I went!!

WOW!!! I think that after typing it all in for the blog I am tired again!!

My dog is not feeling so good so I am taking him to the Doctor this morning!

You all have a good day...

5 words and special visitors!!

I have just recently started following a blog:

Teresa's Treasures

http://teresa-grammygirlfriend.blogspot.com/

She was doing a post based on five words she was given. She invited us to play along if we wanted and you know me, I love knowing about people so I asked her to send me my 5 words. If you too are interested, leave me a comment and your email address and I too will send you 5 random words. These are my 5 words......

1.Supply - I may not have all the things that I want but God does SUPPLY all my needs.

2.Tension-TENSION in my life does not do well! I really do not like it!

3.Dedication-I love my Family and the DEDICATION that we all have to each other!!

4.Patient-I have a son that is in the USMC and I have 16 year old twin so that is what makes me PATIENT in this life!!
